/ NEW YORK, July l5.-Rum0rs fly
around the race tracks thst the DWyer
/ brothers, owners Of the uubeateu colt
/ Hanover, and in pas. years OF such equine
stars as Hind0O, the sire 0f Hanover,
/ Luke Blackburn, BrGmble, Miss Wood
/ ford, Runnsymede, Barnes, and George
/ Kinney intend 20 retire from the turf at
/ the close OF the present season. OF
! course the DIVER brothers are not gong
! TO retire. Certsin persons who know
nothing about the extensive operations
Of the Brooklyn turtmen Gnd certain
trainers with pceCarIOgS regulations are
responsible for tie erroneous statements.
Z Il Is true hat misfortune mas followed
/ the TWO brothers with uuVa-ying regu-
larity for two years. Because they nave
had an equine prize Of TWO II bundled
or more horses some people have
/ imagined they were coming bushels Of
money. The DIVERS DID well last year
with Inspector {, Dew Drop, fremont and
Hanover, winning more than 500, GEO in
stakes with the qqartette, and this large
SUN Of money didn't pay them for Their
/ big expenditures for wei bred ygGTling5
/ as well 6 their stable expenses including
9 $4,000 i0CEeV, $4,000 trainer, seV-
. Jockeys, the services Of veterinary sur
geons, the loss OF horses anti for train
/ iE2, he outlay for feed, the salaries OF an
Isu1y ci faithful sable boys, and big
'EsuLi Tor travelling expenses. Ia addition
,fto this, last yesr they saw Inspector
4 rs, Eilford. the costly Pontiac, Barnes,
Tom Martin, George Kinney and Miss
I WOCdford become crippes. They we're
/ competed TO sell as worthless Z car
] lQeA F0f horses thst hAd cost .
-feftune, ana manfuly have they
stood by this year TO wit
ness The ysg9rjes Ct that f4te which
/ decreed that some vi those worthless
4 hGrScs should prove gold mines Tor their
new owners. And 50 it happens inst,
/ though the Dryer brothers won N in-
/ melse amount Of money last gcar-IH-
deed more than any other stable 10
! A HeTiCa-they were behind the seasons
,esfTeaseS so far a. money earned il
5Eorses may be counted. Bat still they
were ahead Of the season. How do you
+ ask? Why by backing their excellent
judgment about horses and winning
lamps Of money from the bCCkma6Crs.
1 BY no other muaDs could they carry such
/ 2 large racing sable ana balance the
. books Oh the right side.
Well this brings Us to the present year
and TO the repeated rumors Of retirement.
/ Before ne seas opened matters looked
/ bright for the butcher boys eli Brooklyn.
/ Tnsy had the unbgGten wonder fremont,
/ then apparently IS sound rs dollar from
the mint. They bad Mile, Louise, Yer
y ona and Bessie June, ali tlIies big with
! promise Of rich achievements. TEeY had
Atlantic, 3 grand looking three-year-o!d
that had been tried highly last year,
l5Teev hsd Bedford, g tbree-yesr.o.d
fsOn Of Billet, that promised to be an
equine level OF the highest stand
ard, aud they had such costly
and highly bred youngsters SIS
| Umpire, Locust, Dtn.sen, Trenton, Long
/ Branch, St. Adams, Prospect ana FOUn-
tain. and what has happened to these
/ horses so far? Not one Of them mas won
race. fremont is 3 wreck. The four
! FLIES mentioned above seemed to have
! lost their speed Bedford and Atlantic
! have been sold for handful OF dollars
and sill the two-yeGr-Oldsm mentioned above
| one | believe, excepted, have been sold
out Of the Stable within few weeks
sold out after being trained aad fed for
| year, and sold because they are supposed
TO be worthless in q racing institution,
! ike that owned by the Brooklyn
/ boys. This is certainly bad luck
/ for the present racing season. And what
/ had the Dwyer Brothers among their
/ horses to compensate them for those that
| had gone astray? Only the royal and
! consistent brute Hanover, winner al
/ ready this year of more than $50 900.
7 KiDgtsb, B8yTidge and FOrdham do you
ask? Well they have won few races,
Z hY1~ no - he
sad have badly paid their way. From
| the above the average turf goer will say
! l have made out an excellent case to
prove that The DIVER Brothers ere likely
! to retire from the turf. But l haven't
/ finished my case. The Dwyer Brothers,
/ ike Lucky Baldwin, j. B. Haggin and
! Mine Owner Morissey, do not depend
solely upon their stables 10 earn q profit
/ and psy expenses. tDwer Brothers indi-
/ vidUslly, and as q firm, have made money in
large sums this year, not simply ~ wag-
eTiug money on their own horses, Dut by
/ backing the candidates that come from
/ the stable Of MeSsrs. Scott, Brown, Cas-
I sstt, Withers and keene. The Dryers
! sre early birds. They catch the golden
worm quite often by being up and doing
r.. 4 O'clock in the morning. They watch
/ the work of the horses and wager their
money with uncommon shrewdness.
There IS 8 queer phase OF their iII.luCk,
/ however. Half the horses they sell out
/ their sta lie turn out 10 be as valuable as
| gold mines in the hands of other people.
Look at Richmond! Roth < Co, have
won with him this year nearly $50, 900 in
purses, stake and wager. The horses
cost the Dryers money. Then take
the three fIlies, Daruns, Miss Motley
and Rosalind. They were uselss to the
Dryers last year, so the brothers de-
clared them ont Cf all the stakes and
transferred them to j. b. Hsggin, the
| California turf magnste. What happened?
Why, the three FLIES are carrying all be-
fore them in the west. They have already
this year won stacks of money for Dir.
Haggin. Daruna has defeated the mighty
Volante, and Rosslind has run away from
the speedy phenomenon, JaCobin. Mr.
Hsggln has kept these FLIES winning the
west, while his own original FLY, Firmzi,
has been winning the ladies' stakes in the
east If the Dryers had kept Rosslind
